Beogram 1600 - speed issue only on 45
in BeoGram · Mar 19, 2026 10:52I have a beogram 1600 (1980s), it works fine on 33 but if you put it on 45 the platter jerks and is irregular. I've changed the belt but wonder if it is something electronic - maybe a capacitor or something? Any ideas mu…
Your favourite product from B&O's first 100 years?
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 16, 2025 12:45I have too many, it would either be the original Beovision Avant as I spent many a happy hour watching Nordic crime on it or the Beocenter 9000 series with a pair of Lab 8s.
DVD1 as CD Transport
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 14, 2025 19:29I have a DVD1 that I've had for years and not really used it much. I tried playing some CDs on it and it works great but I want to hook it upto a better DAC to get better sound quality. I connected a really cheap DAC tha…
What are you working on now?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 29, 2025 19:07Beocenter 4600 - it is in great condition, cassette, radio and record deck work and it came with a half decent MMC20S - when powered up no sound and lights were dead. Fuse had blown on the amp/power supply board, I repla…

Is this forum dead?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 24, 2025 08:10I hope not as I have just returned and signed up for Silver Membership. I had a brief spell of non B&O products but couldn't live with them. I did look at other forums but in my opinion this one is best - the others are …
Today's B&O has lost me!
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 28, 2025 19:21Jus to echo what Guy has mentioned - I have an old BV8 in my bedroom and I went into the apple menu and taught it the commands from one of the STBs (Homechoice I think works well) The Apple TV option in the STB menu just…

Beosound Overture - Aux Socket
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 2, 2025 17:28I'm thinking of looking out for a Beosound Overture but wondered if the AUX socket carries datalink? The reason being that if it does I would want to connect in a Lintronic Box to it so that I can control a Yamaha Media …

Old timers Beovox 3800.Mid range drivers.
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 12, 2024 09:32So nice to see Peter back on this forum - I've not been on here for a while either as I've not really had a chance to play with my B&O stuff. John - interested to hear how you get on with the 33/303 as I have the same ho…
Beogram 4002 - Power off when not in use?

Beogram 4002 - Power off when not in use?
in BeoGram · Jun 11, 2024 17:44This might seem like a dumb question but I would be grateful for any advice. I use my Beogram 4002 in the morning sometimes, the afternoon or the evening. I usually turn it off at the mains as I understand there are comp…
Analog Source Switcher
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 3, 2024 09:29When I had mine I used it together with a lintronic code converter. In this way I could have three sources instead of a Beomaster. I think at the side there is an IR sensor, or you plug one in and programme the source th…
Analog Source Switcher
in General Discussion & Questions · May 28, 2024 17:23I have the same interests and I love getting old technology to work with new. Some time ago I have a Boscom source switcher that allowed an extra 3 inputs and was controlled by a Beo4 . I found this link to it, but cant …
Beolink Passive - Powerlink Socket
in BeoLink · Jan 22, 2024 12:02Thanks Guy, yes that answers the question - I needed a switched 5V supply. I suppose I could use a Beolink Active with a powerlink to the Active and a splitter but that wouldn't save me reducing the number of units in st…
Beolink Passive - Powerlink Socket
in BeoLink · Jan 22, 2024 11:38I have several Beolink Passives in a Beolink setup. What I need to know that the manual doesn't say, is if the PowerLink socket provides the 5V switching current - I need this for a bespoke application. The manual just s…
A new YouTube review of the BS3200
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 22, 2023 10:11I was surprised at how difficult or odd he found it, but I've been used to Beolink 1000 and then Beo4 for what must be over 30 years so I find other brands difficult to use. For example, the writing on a lot of remotes i…
